"I don't know what Miss Shiyao went through under the cliff of Yishan Mountain," Qi Ling continued to narrate in a calm tone, "I only know that after one day, she absorbed a lot of Yin Death in the extreme pain. From then on, she transformed into the Snow Girl of Yishan Mountain, controlling the power of frost from the coldest to the coldest.
"After that, she returned to Qingzhou and found that her relatives and those who had been kind to her had been tortured and died miserably.
"I wonder if you know anything about myths and legends - those who hurt people's limbs in the world, those who rape and kill, those who bully others, those who see gains and forget justice, those who repay kindness with enmity, those who are cold-blooded and cruel, etc., will all enter the Second Yama Hall after death. The 'ice hell', suffering the punishment of severe cold and frost.
"So, with anger and hatred, the young lady turned the entire Lu Mansion into an 'ice hell' with the help of the 'Jinghong Pen' and the power of frost. She wanted to make the villains who kidnapped, burned and killed pay the price.
"This is the so-called 'there is no door to hell, no one is responsible for it'.
"Three days later, for some unknown reason, the young lady's maid Shu Yan turned into a drought monster after her death, bringing a three-year drought to the entire Qingzhou Prefecture.
"However, the evil leader Tang Hui and some of his subordinates escaped the punishment of the Ice Hell with the help of the 'Imperial Envoy Token'.
“Although they couldn’t leave the confines of Lu Mansion, they built a shelter in the northwest corner building.
"Because of the existence of the 'Imperial Envoy's Token', neither the lady nor I can enter that shelter.
"At the same time, as time goes by, Miss Shiyao's human emotions are gradually disappearing. She is becoming more and more like a god who is in charge of ice and snow and does not eat the fireworks of the world.
“She was afraid that she would forget her hatred and ultimately let those villains escape the punishment they deserved.
"So, she left me and her last bit of humanity in this abandoned mansion, waiting for the arrival of a destined person who can help her realize her wish."
Gu Xu listened to Qi Ling's narration while silently analyzing whether her words were true or false.
"I have a question," he pondered for a moment and then said, "Why does your lady want to keep you here instead of taking you to Yishan?"
The weapon spirit sighed and said with a somewhat gloomy look: "A dead person can no longer be the owner of a famous weapon; and a famous weapon without an owner cannot exert its true power. The lady doesn't want me to help her. , and was buried forever. She hoped that I would have a moment to shine again in the future."
Hearing this, Gu Xu took out a copper coin from his pocket, turned it several times in his hand, and at the same time silently recited the name "God", and then glanced at it quietly.
Right side up.
This shows that Qi Ling did not lie.
Gu Xu then asked: "If I remember correctly, Miss Lu has the strength of the sixth realm after transforming into a snow girl; and you are also one of the famous 'Twelve Weapons'. So what exactly is the 'Imperial Envoy Token'?" Can I keep you out of the shelter?"
The weapon spirit replied: "Because the 'Imperial Envoy's Token' was carved by the emperor himself using the 'Tai'a Sword'. The Tai'a Sword is the number one weapon in the world, and it can be used for dead souls and magic weapons in the world - including other famous weapons without owners. Great restraint effect.”
"I'm just a weak second-level monk. I'm afraid I can't help you with this kind of thing, right?" Gu Xu asked tentatively.
"What you need to do is very simple," Qi Ling replied, "you only need to become the new owner of the 'Jinghong Pen' and cross the barrier of the shelter. The lady and I will handle the rest. "
"Why choose me?" Gu Xu then asked, "I think there must be many monks before me who can do this."
"Choosing the owner of a famous weapon is not a random matter," Qi Ling sneered, "Do you think these three tests in the Lu residence are really set casually?"
She paused for a moment and then continued: "For example, the test of the 'Hundred Flowers Poetry Club' relied on the young lady's 'wisdom eye' magical power - it can not only test the monks' talents, but also their character.
"A person who is inconsistent with his appearance cannot successfully write a poem in the 'Hundred Flowers Poetry Society'.
"Just like Tang Hui, although he got the orchid ticket of 'Gentleman among Flowers', because he is essentially a despicable person - even if he passed the Jinshi examination and was very talented, he could not successfully write a poem. An orchid poem.”
No wonder.
Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.
He had long suspected that the flower name tags and poems on the "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society" were closely related to everyone's character and destiny.
Now Qi Ling's words undoubtedly confirmed this guess.
Later, Gu Xu asked another question that he had always been very curious about: "So what is the third test? Why did I pass it without doing anything?"
"Because Miss told me that you are the only one among all the monks who did not enter this abandoned mansion for his own fame and fortune," Qi Ling replied lightly, "Miss appreciates pure and clean people, and I do the same.
"But in this world, too many people have been trapped in the mire of fame and fortune and cannot extricate themselves."
"Maybe Miss Lu has misjudged the wrong person," Gu Xu laughed at himself, "I have always thought of myself as a common person, and I never thought that I was very noble. In fact, I came to this house just to ask for something from Miss Lu." How to break the frost curse."
"How to break the 'Frost' curse? What do you want that thing for?" Qi Ling obviously didn't expect Gu Xu to make such a request.
It’s not that it’s very demanding.
It's because, compared to becoming the new owner of "Jinghong Pen", this requirement seems too trivial.
Gu Xu stood up from his seat, cleared his throat, and said, "In order to cure my illness, my boss went to Yishan Mountain to pick a snow ginseng. In the process, he was hit by the 'frost' curse, and his health The situation went from bad to worse.
"But no matter what, he did it for me after all. If his behavior offended Miss Lu, I am deeply sorry for him.
"I believe that Miss Lu is a pure, kind-hearted woman with beautiful character. I beg Miss Lu to be noble and forgive an elder who made a mistake because of his pity for his younger generation, and to give him the 'frost melt' spell to remove the pain from his body." pain."
After he finished speaking, he clasped his hands and bowed to the spirit of the "Jinghong Pen" and the windless automatic blue gauze cabinet.
Qi Ling stood there silently, seemingly unable to make up his mind.
At this moment, a lavender flower note appeared out of thin air in mid-air, and then gently landed at Gu Xu's feet.
Gu Xu picked up the flower note and read it carefully.
I saw the paper written in beautiful small regular script with hairpin flowers:
"I'm sorry, Young Master. I don't have a very good temper. I always hate uninvited guests who come into Yishan. I hurt Young Master's elders. Please forgive me.
"The method to break the 'frost erosion' spell has been written on the back of this piece of paper. Please be sure to accept it, sir.
"Your Majesty, Lu Shiyao."
